Brave New World |
The office lines are busy and the girls are working hard |
Tonight they’ll be out clubbing with their boyfriends busy wishing they were |
Gentlemen please take your seats, there’s champagne in the boardroom |
Let’s drink a toast to prosperity, tell the waiting pressmen that |
No, there’s nothing wrong here, nothing at all |
Remember locking all the doors before you went to bed |
Then waking with those racing dreams ringing round your head |
The future’s full of shining cars on shining tarmac roads |
Cutting through the wasted years and all the old abandoned tracks and |
No, there’s nothing wrong here, nothing at all |
So keep that smile on your face, have a drink to help you sleep at night |
They got what they desired — We’re passive in their brave new world |
We are not young and beautiful, we are not rich and bold |
And we are not your people who bought the dreams you sold |
And we hate your smiling faces and we hate what you have done |
We hate your patronising and we hate your cold blue eyes |
And we all feel this raging and we all feel the same |
This crazy blinding fury that we cannot explain |
And we all see reflections in our lover’s eyes |
We live with so few troubles but with so many, many lies and |
No, there’s nothing wrong here, nothing at all |
